The Lady Eagles knew that they would have to struggle for points to keep the Lady Bulldogs from getting second-chance points. With a decisive size advantage against them, the Lady Eagles were going to have to take every possession seriously.
“They’re bigger, faster, stronger and I think everybody can see that today how much stronger they are than us,” said Head Coach Joye Lee-McNelis. “We look like ants out there compared to them. But, I’ll tell you, our team played with a lot of heart.”
That heart led to a 72-50 beating from the in-state rivals, but the score was a lot closer than indicated.
